CVE-2026-32142: Shopware Information Disclosure Flaw

CVE-2026-32142 Overview

CVE-2026-32142 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting Shopware, an open commerce platform. The /api/_info/config route exposes sensitive information about licenses to unauthorized users. This vulnerability falls under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) and enables attackers to enumerate licensing details without proper authentication.

Critical Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can access license configuration information via the exposed API endpoint, potentially revealing sensitive business and deployment details about Shopware installations.

Affected Products

• Shopware versions prior to 7.8.1
• Shopware versions prior to 6.10.15

Technical Details for CVE-2026-32142

Vulnerability Analysis

This information disclosure vulnerability exists in Shopware's API infrastructure, specifically within the /api/_info/config endpoint. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated network access to retrieve license configuration data that should be restricted to authorized administrators only.

The flaw stems from insufficient access controls on the configuration information endpoint. When exploited, an attacker can remotely query the affected API route without requiring any prior authentication or user interaction. The impact is limited to confidentiality exposure—no integrity or availability impacts are associated with this vulnerability.

Root Cause

The root cause of CVE-2026-32142 is improper access control implementation on the /api/_info/config route. The endpoint fails to validate whether incoming requests originate from authenticated and authorized users before returning license configuration data. This represents a missing authorization check that allows any network-reachable attacker to access sensitive information.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is network-based, requiring no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity to exploit. An attacker simply needs to send an HTTP request to the vulnerable /api/_info/config endpoint on a target Shopware installation.

The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a simple GET request to the affected endpoint:

GET /api/_info/config HTTP/1.1
Host: target-shopware-instance.com

The server responds with license configuration information that should not be publicly accessible. For detailed technical information, refer to the GitHub Security Advisory.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-32142

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual or repeated GET requests to the /api/_info/config endpoint from external IP addresses
• Access log entries showing requests to /api/_info/config without corresponding authenticated sessions
• Automated scanning patterns targeting Shopware API endpoints

Detection Strategies

• Configure web application firewall (WAF) rules to monitor and alert on access attempts to /api/_info/config from unauthenticated sources
• Implement rate limiting on API endpoints to detect and slow down enumeration attempts
• Deploy SentinelOne Singularity to monitor for reconnaissance activity targeting e-commerce platforms

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable verbose logging for all API endpoint access, particularly configuration-related routes
• Set up alerting for anomalous request patterns to Shopware administrative API endpoints
• Review access logs regularly for unauthorized attempts to access sensitive configuration data

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-32142

Immediate Actions Required

• Upgrade Shopware installations to version 7.8.1 or 6.10.15 (or later) immediately
• Review access logs for evidence of prior exploitation attempts against the /api/_info/config endpoint
• Implement network-level access controls to restrict API endpoint access to trusted networks where possible
• Consider temporarily blocking access to the vulnerable endpoint until patching is complete

Patch Information

Shopware has released security patches addressing this vulnerability in versions 7.8.1 and 6.10.15. Organizations should upgrade to these versions or later to remediate CVE-2026-32142. For additional details, consult the GitHub Security Advisory.

Workarounds

• Implement web server or reverse proxy rules to block unauthenticated access to /api/_info/config
• Use network segmentation to limit external access to Shopware API endpoints
• Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with rules to restrict access to sensitive configuration routes

# Example nginx configuration to restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint
location /api/_info/config {
    # Allow only from trusted internal networks
    allow 10.0.0.0/8;
    allow 192.168.0.0/16;
    deny all;
}
